A MESSAGE FROM TRAVEL EDITOR JEN ROBERTS

There's something about the cold days of January that makes me want to hunker down next to a fire with a book and a warm cup of coffee. If this matches your energy, then we're including five cozy Airbnbs that are great for winter stays. For those looking for wellness-related retreats and activities, we share a roundup of five places within driving distance. And if you have cabin fever, there are plenty of small towns worth a short drive. Stay warm, and safe travels!
